Technical Details
Areas of production
From the Calatayud Denominacion de Origen, at altitudes of between 680 & 1,050 metres, from the
villages of Acered, Alarba and Castejon de Alarba. The mountainside vineyards, on soils of slate and quartzite, produce wines with a distinctive mineral quality.
Food matches
Perfect for a wide range of food matches including stews and roasted meat dishes.
Tasting notes
Intense cherry-red colour. Intense and fruity on the nose. Aroma of wild fruits and balsamics. Cocoa, chocolate and minerality notes show up after moving the glass. On the palate it is fresh, tasty and with good and balanced tannins. Nice and long aftertaste.
Winemaking
The first selection of grapes took place in the
vineyard. The grapes were hand-picked, during the second week
of October, and after further selection in the winery, were
crushed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at
between 22°C & 24°C. The malolactic fermentation took place in
underground concrete tanks, that guarantee optimum controlled
temperature. It’s kept in French barrels 2 months before bottling.
